A loan helped to buy cattle and pigs to butcher.


Lady Fernanda's story

Lady is 29 years old. She is an enthusiastic and hardworking woman. Lady is now in a common law marriage and has no children. She lives in a rented house where she also has a butcher's shop that she runs with hard work and dedication. Her spouse helps her with the transportation and the times when there is high demand.

They both work hard to provide fresh, high quality products. Nonetheless, she can stay as supplied as she would like, since she doesn't have enough capital to buy cattle and pigs in large quantities.

Lady wants to grow her business with a wider variety of meat. That is why she is seeking a loan to allow her to invest in directly buying animals to butcher and make her shop well known for quality in the area. This will improve her income and ensure a better future.
